Abstract
A device and method for measuring joint rotation of an object, which provides an objective quantification of a laxity of the joint, especially in external and internal rotation. The device for measuring rotation of a first joint of an object comprises an orthosis for immobilizing a second joint of the object, the second joint being connected to the first joint by a bone of the object; a torque sensor fixed to the orthosis for monitoring a value of torque applied to the second joint, the applied torque being transferred to the first joint via the bone; and a motion sensor for tracking a rotational displacement of the bone occurring under the applied torque.
